Definition lewd

Etymology

From Middle English lewed, lewd, leued (“unlearned, lay, lascivious”), from Old English l?wede (“unlearned, ignorant, lay”), of obscure origin; most likely a derivative of the past participle of l?wan (“to reveal, betray”) in the sense of "exposed as being unlearned" or "easily betrayed, clueless", from Proto-Germanic *l?wijan? (“to betray”), from *l?w? (“an opportunity, cause”), from Proto-Indo-European *l?w- (“to leave”). Cognate with Old High German gil?en, firl?en (“to betray”), Gothic ???????? (gal?wjan, “to give over, betray”), Gothic ??? (l?w, “an opportunity, cause”).
